Building company says a pre built shower pod constitutes a separate room ...therefore our bathroom Regs don't apply when they drop one into a bedroom .
They're self contained units for disabled use which come fully fitted out ...with connections for electrics , plumbing , waste . Builder maintains all he needs to do is change wall switches to pull switches.
My carpenter/plumber mate subs to this firm , he 's being told they can be fitted in a day . I'm not involved but thought they were adjusting the Regs to suit themselves. As in ..........."rooms containing a bath or shower " Stick one of these into a bedroom and it becomes ...."a room containing a bath or shower. "
Any thoughts?
